Answer:
A. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization

Subtract 4x from both sides
Then divide both sides by 9 to isolate y
Y=(6-4x)/9
Answer:
x = 5/2
x = 2 1/2
x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 1 - (x + 3) = 1
3x - 1 - x - 3 = 1
2x - 1 - 3 = 1
2x - 4 = 1
2x = 1 + 4
2x + 5
2x = 5
x = 5/2 → 2 1/2 → 2.5 ( can be written in any of these forms depending on what you need to do)
